  what kept you up last night? oh yeah, found out from my BIL that suunto has the running watch which tracks the km you log but it costs a bomb! slightly cheaper (but not that much!) is the garmin forerunner.

  Bkk/Thailand has been having a string of bad luck recently. First the airport shutdown and now this coupled with new protests.

  WTH, I'd never been a victim of this double-posting thing until now. I'm sure I didn't click twice.

  perhaps real change will come about when the old king croaks. the fruit has fallen pretty far from the tree as far as the son is concerned.

  I remember my boss ask me to help him configure his watch...think its also garmin forerunner...its has a bulit in gps and i think u need to sync with some devices so as to calculate the heart beat or something... v mafan!! And I dun understand why my boss y to buy this gadget just for jogging?

  i think there's 2 types: (1) gps already in watch and you run blah blah; (2) gps is in another device which you hook somewhere (eg waist/pouch, shoes etc) which then needs to be sync-ed with the watch. guess you can figure out which is more exp.

  Nope, although I have a colleague who is Thai. An old classmate is now based in the USA.

  gets misplaced. plus being to upload it allows you to confer and discuss with people elsewhere. plus plus...how do you measure the distance you log in a particular run if not by a gps or pedometer etc?

  Well, most regular folks prefer the eldest princess to become king.

  The crown prince is a nuisance, and even now, the people still prefer the princess.

  But out of respect for the king, they have to accept the prince as the new king.  There was no laws for female asension to the throne for thailand.

  Jogging is suppose to be the cheapest form of exercise for any person who has a pair of sports shoes.

  I dont understand the need for gps or heart monitoring system.

  Its already bad enough that there is pouches that carries small bottles of water or running clothes that wont make your nips bleed.

  But gps system?  How far are you suppose to run in Singapore?  And does the heart system automatically calls for a ambulance the moment thr runner's heart stop or went erractic?

  hmm....ok...I suppose such a contraption can be useful if you do a lot of cross country esp in unfamiliar locations.
